# Former Philippines president, Rodrigo Duterte, will face trial at the International Criminal Court. Judges confirmed charges of crimes against humanity over the deadly anti-drug crackdowns he allegedly oversaw while in office. In their 50-page decision, a three-judge panel says prosecutors, police and hit squad members carried out dozens of murders at Duterte’s behest, starting in 2011 and motivated by the promise of money or to avoid becoming targets themselves. Over six-thousand people were reportedly killed. A date for the trial has not yet been set.
